Hate to bump this thread, but I've exhausted all my options. I am having the exact same issue with a WD internal drive that I was running through a HDD dock. I've been scrambling to get the files off of it, and nothing seems to work. I purchased diskwarrior and have had the exact same issues iwth it freezing. Contacted their tech support and they can't seem to get me any answers either. Same with WD's tech support. I've even tried swapping the control board with an identical harddrive, and that didnt turn out to be the problem. Hell, the drive sounds fine when it's running, it just doesn't seem to be doing anything after it initially mounts.

I got the prosoft software to work to a certain point, basically it could mount the drive and take a look at the files that are on there, then it froze up when attempting to actually retrieve the data.

I tried sending a PM to the OP, but I don't think he's been on the forum since when this was posted a couple years back. I would really appreciate some insight if he had managed to fix the problem.

What exactly do you mean by "it"? If you mean the DiskWarrior application, then are you booted to the DiskWarrior DVD, or to a hard drive with DiskWarrior installed on it?

Also, what exactly do you mean by "freezing"? The OP reported the endless spinning beachball (i.e. the wait cursor). Is that what you get, or do you get something where your computer is completely unresponsive to any input?
